Sounds like a big old fat DELETE to me.

And THAT's the truth of what people think when there looking at these generalities; "oh, which is EASY, which can I do, pay almost no attention to, do next to nothing, and just cash fat checks".....

Of all these properties, I’ve seen two in real life before purchasing.Slight difference, he's a wholesaler:1) Has no clue of the mystery true buyer will give him a fat check or not beyond his own say-so.2) Has $0 dollars tied in escrow so no loyalty to the deal, which I think is immoral to make the seller take all the risk in reliance3) Thinks he's screwing over the seller at a low price.

You know there's an old saying that pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.

The pace of tenant turnover will slow along as tenants stick around longer hoping to get a fat check before they move on.
